I did a post in 2020 of books I wanted to read in 2021 because they had been on my shelf for a while and I had at least started most of them and then put down for something. For being in a reading slump most of 2021, I feel I did pretty well in…

I have been loving the readathons lately. They have somehow helped me pick books to read and have been pulling me out of this reading slump. I still feel myself getting over the slump. Or maybe my love of reading is changing. I just don’t seem to want to read like I used to and so find myself putting books down even though I’m enjoying them. Then instead of picking them back up after a few weeks, I end up picking something new. The readathons have helped me focus and give me a reason to finish the book. Even though I’ve decided not to throw in punishments if I don’t finish the TBR due to life likely getting in the way, I hope this game will still give some motivation for me to read the books.

Almost right from page 1, I was hooked. The writing in this, did something I had not experienced in a long time. I picked it up and did not want to stop. I had a hard time finding “good places” to stop for the night, or before going to start my work day, and all too often, had to put it down desperate to know what was about to happen. I became slightly more productive at work because I was so focused on getting what I needed to done, because I wanted to get back to the story as quickly as possible.

Hello Pixies! It’s been a long while. I’ve had some family troubles I’ve been dealing with, plus was struggling with a reading slump. I think I am finally kicking the slump though, and the family troubles seem to be mostly settled at the moment, so I’m hoping I will be able to show up here…
